Do not forget to retorque the cylinder head. Normally done at first warm up.

There are times when I have a NOS or reconditioned JEEP block upside down on my bench and install the pistons thru the bottom of the block. I also have a piston ring gapping tool for setting the suggested gaps
Luc amazes me with his machine shop and methods of repairing blocks that have faults not shown in TM's or Factory Jeep manuals. If one looks hard enough, there are shops that do similar repairs within reach of your area. Jeep engine repair has gone on since WWII, there are hundreds of good engine repair shops and we are not inventing the wheel. What the do it yourself mechanic needs is a bit of guidance to reduce mistakes and advice about which repairs are best done by professional shops. Engine repair does require special tools and experience a special touch, or just someone to look over your shoulder while attempting to perform engine work for the first time.

NOTE:
Jeep Pistons can be installed thru the bottom. A Ring Compressor us still needed.
